RE: to expand on my other post (how often do you get a bow)
Honestly? Because I can.
No, there are a few reasons. First, I'm advertisement for the shop. Guys look to see what I'm shooting, and it does no good to shoot an older model bow we don't sell anymore.
Second. Economics. If I trade up every year, it doesn't cost me anything. If I skip a year, I will incur some cost.

Hmm, that is interesting. I may have to try my hand at Ebay this December!

I just enjoy setting up a new Bow and putting it through the paces. I also like to have complete setups ready to go with different game in mind. For example Turkeys, Whitetails in the thicket, or Mule Deer etc., in the wide open spaces.

by this do you mean that you have a different bow for different game?
RE: to expand on my other post (how often do you get a bow)
So everyone out there can see whats new out the bows I shoot are Pro series bows and they are only available at pro shops, so I try to change as often as I can b/c there is like 5-8 pro bows and the more that I show them off the better chance someone seeing that there are more bows out there that what just the chain stores carries and It helps the dealers out.

Many times I do, yes. I like speed if I am anticipating shoots in the 40+ yard range. Whitetails I like a heavier arrow, and with turkeys many times I use a different arrow/broadhead combo. Not that one bow wouldn't handle it all. It just saves me from resighting in/tuning for different arrow/broadhead combinations.

I've gone through several bows now in a realtively short time span. Partly because I can......but mostly because I wanted to see what I liked. I've only been shooting a bow for <3 yrs.
I see me settling on one soon and staying with it for a while. I do NOT like change for the sake of change. I was always 4-5 yrs behind the technolgy curve when I played golf (one of the last to give up persimmon). Once I find something I like......I'll likely buy a couple of them and hang on to them for a while.

X2... I find I can get good resale after 1 year, but if I wait, it costs me money. The only bow I've kept more than a year and plan to keep longer is my Guardian.
